Dorothy Day said: "If
everyone were holy and handsome, it would be easy to see Christ in everyone. But
it was not Christ's way for Himself.

Ask honestly what you would do when a beggar asked at your house for
food. Would you give it on an old cracked plate, thinking that was good enough?
Do you think that Martha and Mary thought that the old and chipped dish was good
enough for their guest? It is not a duty to help Christ -- it is a
privilege."
